ROFL!! You're a real pro...

What Hepworth say...


We do recommend the use of a Hep2O pipe cutter, however any pipe cutter
designed to cut plastics pipes should be suitable. One of the major
advantages of a purpose designed cutter is speed, however the requirements
for the cutter are that it should cut the tube square without scoring or
scratching the pipe or leaving burrs or swarf which could get under the 'O'
ring. It is for this reason that hacksaws should not be used.

The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable clean,
square cut using a variety of tools.

which does not include a hacksaw.

An amateur will make a hash of it if the cutters are not available. You see
a professional will achieve a nice burr free square cut with tools
available.

I think not. A professional would have the proper tools.

This is a typical example of your "doing it on the cheap" mentality,
and this time you have come unstuck.

Trying to then pretend that the product is faulty is ridiculous and
fools nobody except yourself.
